Recommended Readings on UM Responses to US immigration ban

I have been a daily reader of United Methodist news and Twitter for several years, and the response to US President Trump's temporary ban on migrants and refugees from seven predominantly Muslim countries was one of the most prolific responses to an event I have yet seen by United Methodists.

Readers who are aware of statements not included in the list are encouraged to share them in the comments section.
